An AOI system can quickly evaluate the thousands of details on a PCB that are too small for the human eye to catch and report any detected problems back to the operator.

Here are some of the best practices for your PCB assembly BOM to help streamline component management and optimize your low-volume build.

To ensure your final design can be manufactured without difficulty, you need to understand what the PCB trace width tolerances are before you start.

How do you balance performance and assembly on your PCB? By paying close attention to the PCB component-to-component spacing.

IC manufacturers follow a process method called “copy exactly.” Here is a look at copy exact manufacturing and how it pertains to PCB contract manufacturers.

Too often, PCB design for assembly practices are viewed as simple checks the manufacturer makes after they receive the PCB design data. Instead, these guidelines are critical for the PCB designer to observe during layout.
